Re-evaluate: Where was your student accepted? Take a closer look at those schools.

Send updates: If your student decides to stay on the waitlist, have him or her write a letter to reiterate interest and let the school know anything new.

Accept an offer: Say “yes” to one of the other schools while waiting to hear back.

Talk it over: Does your student really still want to go to that school?
